London: British MP Neil Parish has resigned as an MP after admitting he watched pornography twice in the House of Commons, BBC reported.

Parish - the MP for Tiverton and Honiton in Devon - said what he had done was inexcusable and had been a "moment of madness" and "I was not proud of what I was doing".

He admitted that when it happened the first time it was accidental, but said the second time it was deliberate, while admitting that what he did was absolutely wrong.

Parish was suspended by the Conservative Party on Friday over the allegations.

Two female colleagues claimed they had seen him looking at adult content on his phone while sitting near them.

Parish appeared emotional as he announced he was standing down after seeing the furore and damage it was causing his family, his constituency and local association.

"I was wrong, I was stupid, I lost sense of mind," he said. But he denied watching the material in a way where he hoped other people would see it. (UNI)
